A fairly modest average of $300 per month of positive cash flow (after all expenses) means you would need approx. 35 properties in 5 years. 7 properties a year is doable if you are a hustler.

And, some may also argue that getting SFRs at a steep discount is much more readily do-able than finding commercial buildings at a similar discounted percentage.They may also argue that: it's totally worth the trouble getting there by SFRs instead.So yes: it's personal preference.
